  • Any chemotherapy, targeted small molecule therapy, or radiation therapy within 2 weeks of the first dose of mRNA-4157 or pembrolizumab
  • Live-virus vaccination within 30 days of the first dose of mRNA-4157 or pembrolizumab. Seasonal flu vaccines that do not contain live virus are permitted.

  • Transfusion of blood products (including platelets or red blood cells \[RBCs\]) or administration of colony stimulating factors (including granulocyte colony stimulating factor \[G-CSF\], granulocyte/macrophage colony stimulating factor \[GM-CSF\], or recombinant erythropoietin) within 1 week of the NGS blood sample during screening, and 4 weeks of the first dose of mRNA-4157 or pembrolizumab
  • A history or current evidence of any condition, therapy, or laboratory abnormality that might confound the results of the study, interfere with participation for the full duration of the study, or is not in the best interest of the participant to participate, in the opinion of the treating Investigator
  • Known psychiatric or substance abuse disorders that would interfere with cooperation with the requirements of the trial
  • Previously identified hypersensitivity to chemotherapy agents that the participant would receive in their specific cohort or to components of the formulations used in this study
